Woodpeckers Sharpening Guide - SHG-23

Woodpeckers Sharpening Guide

ref: SHG-23

• The first difference you’ll notice between Woodpeckers Sharpening Guide and the others is that our design uses two rollers, instead of one. Combine the two rollers with the bevel of your tool and you’ve defined a flat plane. Precision-machined shoulders in the jaws hold your tool perpendicular to the axles and parallel to the wheel surfaces. This design virtually ensures a square edge on your tool if your sharpening stone is flat.
• However, a two-wheel design can be a problem. With two wheels on the outside of the guide, wide tools like plane irons can force the wheels off the edge of the bench stone. We solved that by providing 2 different wheel positions. Mount the wheels inside for plane irons and chisels over 1-1/8" wide or move them outside for blades from 1/8" to 1-1/8". In both positions the wheels deliver stable support.
• To make those wheel changes simple you have wide open access to the wheel mounting screws. While you’re putting it back together, you’ll notice the deep, square cut Acme thread. It spins down fast and grips the tool tight. All steel components are stainless, the aluminum jaws are anodized and the wheels are bronze… Everything is corrosion resistant. You can (and should) dunk it in water without worry.
• If you’re not sure of the angle on your tool to begin with, or you want to check it after sharpening, the Sharpening Guide comes with a Sharpening Angle Gauge. The edge has precision-cut notches representing all the standard sharpening angles. The face is printed with a handy chart which suggests the correct angles for different hand tool operations.
